Show Summary

  • Returning Series
Dora the Explorer features the adventures of Dora, her monkey Boots, her Backpack and many other animated characters. In each episode, viewers help her to go an adventure in an animated world set inside a computer.

The third season of the program kicked off with "Dora's Star-Catching Adventure," introducing a new concept in which viewers interact with the show by searching for explorer-stars in each episode. A number of episodes are available in book form and on commercial video/DVD, including a couple direct-to-video releases. There are also a number of episodes and movies produced, but still unaired.

Dora the Exploreris currently in repeats on Nick Jr. and Noggin. Noggin airs the program every day including weekends at 3 and 4 P.M., but only shows first-season episodes. Nick Jr. shows episodes weekdays at 10 A.M., 11 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. and also occasionally organizes special showings in a marathon format. All repeats tend to be in a random order and all times listed are eastern.

    "Abysmal"
    By RicoColeman, 23 hours ago
    This show is one of the worst shows ever when I was like 7 and under years old I really liked it but now I hate it, its like the same thing every time "where do we need to go?" and " where is the blah" was the worst part about it! You can go ahead and thumb me down cuz I know this would get thumbs down. And the other day my cousin turned this on and i say " omg turn the channel" I just can't stand this show. I avoid watching this everyday and watch real cool shows, I mean seriously wow wow wubbzy is better than this piece of garbage. I hope I never see this again. Sorry fans but this is my opinion i mean I don't wanna sound mean or anything but I don't like this showmoreless

  • WHEN will you people realize that this is for KIDS

    Seriously?! For those of you saying this isn't educational; not all children's shows have to be educational you know! We've got schools for reasons, and for preschools there are school activity books. I can't believe people hate that show for THAT ridiculous reason. Grow up. Also, yes it's strange how a 7-year-old is walking on her own, but what's that going to do? It's not like children are going to start wandering off- and if they did, well, that's partly your fault for no watching the kid... just saying. It's CUTE and ADORABLE and MEANT FOR CHILDREN. Sorry if I sound rude, but after my friend's brother died who loved this show, I have the sudden urge to defend it :\moreless

  • This show is really repetitive. Do they really teach children Spanish or is it just there to mislead us like the Devil does and just to annoy us?

    Quick review

    Art: 9/10 - Pretty basic.

    Animation: 8/10 - Pretty good.

    Music: 3.5/10 - Very annoying and uninspiring.

    Character: 2/10 - Most of the people on this show really piss me off mostly because they're very annoying and are not a good influence on kids.

    Plot: 3.5/10 - Pointless, stupid, and repetitive.

    Dialogue: 1/10 - Most likely the biggest downfall of them all. They use the same quotes, music, and themes throughout every episode.

    Presentation: 2/10 - What really sticks up my craw is that the characters are super annoying and aren't good role models for kids. If there was a way to remake this show with the purpose to actually have the characters be good role models instead of being annoying, repetitive, and just plain ***ed being bad role models on the side, then it would be watchable. But the presentation FAILS by 90%.

    Overall: 2.5/10 - With characters that are annoying and not good role models at all, the music just being plain bad, bad dialogues, and repetitive plots, this isn't really a good show. If anything, this show needs to gone and canned off the air for good. Please Nickelodeon, cancel this show already, even if it should have been canceled before it even got a second and third seasons. Avoid this show at all costs!moreless

  • One of Nickelodeon's most successful shows. Clearly aimed at children under the age of 7

    My daughter is a big fan of this show and it keeps her interested, and helped her with basic math - counting and problem solving. I have nothing but praise for the show. I have not seen anything in it I would call offensive or untoward, and I would recommend to anyone with children under the age of 7.
    Of course if your older you might not enjoy - but go figure?! It does make me wonder about the ages of the users here. If you can write on a webpage this program is clearly not intended for you!
    Update - Thanks for the reviews of this post - refreshing to know that computer skills in the 8-14 age group are improving [even if it is at the expense of reading skills!].moreless

  • Great for kids!

    Great interaction for children who want to learn with Dora and her lively friends. I like how she goes on adventures and she asks you to answer questions. She has a lot of things to offer as far as children tv.
